The link you mentioned is the best for code compliant models.
There is very little difference in performance between IECC Residential 2012 and IECC Residential 2015. Mainly, 2015 requires blower door testing (though the ACH50 requirements are the same). 2015 also adds a fifth compliance path using the Energy Rating Index (ERI) aka HERS Index.
